Thanks to prior mobilities experiences abroad and a positive outcome, Lycée Adam de Craponne is proud to promote and offer a higher number of mobilities with the help of European programmes and our partners. Nowadays, our students come from sometimes lower classes and it's for them the sole opportunity to discover another culture, way of life and European professional behaviours.Students in vocational schools in France spend 22 weeks on work placement during their 3-year course. They will spend their last 4 weeks in foreign companies. (in Great Britain, Italy, Spain and Austria)The trainee ship will be assessed at the end and will count for the final exam. (Vocational secondary school diploma)This full immersion stay will enable them to develop and acquire professional and linguistic skills, compare different occupational environments and work methods and fit in them. It will also make them more aware of the necessity to accept to move abroad as nowadays more and more people find a job in another European country. This is a fact that our students have difficulties in accepting. This is why we need to prepare them to be ready to leave their home country.The participants are in their final school year and come from different professional fields :Commerce, Customer Services and Reception, Elderly and Child Care, Administration, Machining, Electronics, Electro-technics, Boilermaker.
